And then there are the curious few like myself who thoroughly enjoy this kind of stuff. In my opinion this one is far too short, but as an intro to "Decay of Hope" it does work very well. "Temporal Rehab" is far more chaotic, while "Decay of Hope" maintains a sense of control, yet still very dark. Great work, CotMM.

Tempest 2000 'Underground Mix' Wow, we have a very excellent ominous sound here, and I love those female vocal samples. They sound very much like the ones from the theme for Dark Angel. The beat seams to have a continual stabbing to it, which I have always loved to here in music when it is done well, as it defiantly has been here. Excellent mix, vail, feed our ears.

Escape from Monkey Island 'Metal Monkey' This mix is excellent, classic rock guitar, and awesome drums. Its not often that we hear well done guitar around here, so when we do get it, it's a real treat. The drums might be a little load and a repetitive sounding after a couple of bars, but beyond that I can't complain at all. Excellent piece of work, Ryan8bit, I want more of this... please.

Well, if you don't mind something a little different, this one is excellent. Starts off with a steady static beat, and a voice sample from the movie "Pitch Black" where (if you haven't yet seen it) much like Magus, the bad guy becomes one of the good guys, if only because they all have a similair goal in mind. Now as I said at first, you have to have an open mind for stuff thats a little different. CotMM's industrial style is not for those with sensitive ears. The static gives this a feeling of the dark character that its about, in my opinion. Great work, CotMM.

Thats the right additude man. My suggestion is don't ditch Fruity Loops right off the bat. A lot of amazing things can (and have) come out of fruity and quite a few have ended up here and most people can't tell what it was made with (well I can't.) Keep on keepin' on.

Bubble Bobble 'This Is Not a True Ending (Asphyxiation)' Personally, I think this mix is great especially that part that starts at about 0:54. Throughout the rest of the mix, the distortion makes it sound like really heavy guitars or something. And the best part about this mix is that if you don’t like this one, there is even another version with the same title without the Asphyxiation. Awesome work, Children of the Monkey Machine, keep it up.

Final Fantasy 'Medieval Kaoss' Awesome break beat drums and an excellent melodic instrument in this mix. I love the way McVaffe puts this one together, everything just sounds perfect to me. There just isn’t much else I can say about that. Excellent work McVaffe, keep these coming.

Chrono Trigger 'Millenial Fair 2001' This one makes me wish that Millenniums would happen more often. I guess I’ll just have to stick to using that catch phrase “Let’s party like its 2999!” every time I play this one. Zeratul seriously deserves a lot of props for this piece. He puts together electronic pieces based on game melodies, and still maintains the feeling and inspiration of the original song like not many people can. I especially like the voice sample in this piece. Excellent work, Zeratul, keep us dancing.

Chrono Cross 'Another Inspiration' This is a great piece with awesome reverb. That’s one very sweet wind instrument, and a very intriguing guitar. This piece is just excellent Scott Peeples, keep this stuff coming.

Final Fantasy VII 'Cid (Solace Simplicity)' Of all the stuff Children of the Monkey Machine has done, this is probably my least favourite, but admittedly for no good reason. It’s not that this one is not good; it’s just that it doesn't grab me like his other stuff does. The drums do sound substandard compared to most of his work, but I can’t complain about the piano in this one at all. It’s very sweet, especially starting at 1:24. Nice work, Children of the Monkey Machine, keep it up.

Top Gear 'Track 1 (Final Nitro Mix)' Rayza uses a lot of samples to give this track the feel that it deserves. The music is no slouch at all, either. I love the very nice drum work, and a nice bassline. This is one game that I have played a lot of, and even attempted to remix this specific song (as well as a few others) myself, failing miserably, of course. But Rayza really puts it where it’s at with this piece, excellently driven Rayza, way to save that Nitro for the perfect moment.

Mega Man 2 'Crash Test Dummy Man' AE’s one of my favourite musicians. He puts out a very original, amazing sounding piece of music every single time, not just in his mixes but original stuff as well. Each beat has a new and more interesting sound to it. Excellent work AE, keep it up.

Lufia & The Fortress of Doom 'Fear and Courage' Not good at all, this makes me sad. It’s really a horrible thing when a bit rate ruins a song, especially one so well done. I love this piece of music, but I wouldn't listen to it much just because of the fact that the bit rate destroys it. Fix it, Sonic Blade.

Space Harrier 'BIT Live Arcade' I like that very interesting sounding well done voice work in this one. The synths that lead this song take it to an excellent climax. The bassline has an awesome very original sound. Keep doing this great work Slow Poison.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 'Teen Turtle Tryp' Cowabunga dudes! This piece is awesome, with a very interesting sounding, sliding lead instrument. Doesn't remind me too much of Turtle power, but very well done all the same. Great music Kain Minter and Roddy Toomim, keep it coming.

Little Nemo 'Nemo for Strings' Superb drum less tune here by Gux. It’s certainly got enough strings to make up for the lack of drums, that much is undeniable. But it’s also brilliantly executed. Absolutely wonderful work, Gux, keep this coming.

Lunar: The Silver Star 'Blue Lament' A wonderful foot tapping beat with an excellently played piano and sax here by djpretzel. This guy just never stops pumping out these incredible tunes. Excellent djpretzel, there is no need to tell you to keep up the great work any more, because I’m positive that you will.

Mega Man 3 'ProtoVaffe' Awesome little wind and piano piece here by Mustin with and excellent drum beat. I have always loved that violin sound that really makes me want to dance. The little square tune intro is very cool as well. Great work Mustin, keep this coming.

Vortex 'Groove-Mecha' What a Groove indeed. McVaffe just never stops pumping out these awesome ear massaging vibrations. They make me cry for large cini-bun head phones that would do these songs much more justice. There just isn't much more that I can say without repeating myself. This is excellence, McVaffe, sheer excellence.

Final Fantasy VIII 'Final Jungle Fantasy' Awesome experimentation with some very interesting sounds here, and that’s one extremely deep sliding bass. Excellent voice samples, and break beat drums to match. Doesn't sound much like the Rural jungle, but defiantly fits the Urban Jungle. Absolutely amazing, DJ Pheonix, I love it.

Donkey Kong Country 2 'Brambles in the Breeze' Protricity does an excellent job here with the flanged drums, and synth. I also love the piano, absolutely pristine. It’s got one very awesome conglomeration of instruments, in this one, and no lack of ear tingling effects either. Hope to hear lots more like this one, Protricity.

Super Mario Bros. 'The Italian Plumber' Well, it’s about time. You would think somebody would think to give The Italian Plumber a song in traditional Italian style. I’m just got he finally got it. All that toilet fixing and princess saving is tough work, you know. He deserves this one. Excellent work, M.S. Mehawich, I hope to hear more, maybe one for Luigi.

Red Alert 'Hell March (Red Scare)' I get the feeling that many people avoid doing mixes of songs like these, because the original is done so well, trying to mix it, and make it sound better on top of that is an intimidating feat. mellogear certainly doesn't let intimidation get in the way here, instead he drives right on through it with the reverbed guitars, 303’s, and flanged techno drums. It puts a much different spin on the Hell March that you’re used to hearing. Good job, mellogear, keep it up.

Fury of the Furries 'Furry in the Forest' This one’s a very nice electronic piece with an absolutely wonderful lead instrument. I love the way it moves, changes, and slides followed by strings every where it goes. Sweet mix, Cyborg Jeff, I hope to hear more.

Mega Man 2 'Hot Flashes Man' Here comes our beloved djpretzel again with his funky names, funky tunes, and of course, funky beats. Apparently Hot Flashes aren't just for women any more. They’re for Robots too. Do I really need to say it? Do I have to tell you that this tune is great, a must have? Must explain to you how much the ending makes me feel alive inside? I’ll just say, it’s totally awesome, man! And leave it at that. As always, great work, djpretzel, keep it up!
